t ,l T o all Iwhom z'l may' Gomera citizen of the United States, residing at Niles, in the county of Berrien and State 5 of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Drinking-Fountains and Faucets, of which the following'is a specification. rl`his invention relates to the class of faucets and pertains especially to a combination sanitar drinking fountain and faucet.

pct-'fof my invention is to provide a the handle of which may be turned in or operating 4a sanitary drinkand 'in the opposite direction g iin-ordinary faucet." erlobject of my invention is ,to procup ofthe 'drinking fountain ,and the faucet.

`vide a set screw .for controlling the flow of Lwater into the fountain Without adecting in any way the flow of water from the faucet should the handle be turned.

" With the vforegoing and other objects in f'view, my invention. consists in such details of. construction. and arrangement .of parts 'as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out i the appended claim. t

1n describi gmy invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orf-corresponding parts throughout the' sev- .eral 'views' and in which,

f5., combination faucet and fountain, and Fig.

In the drawings the numeral 1 designates' `the body of the invention, having the unusual water supply passage Way `2. 1Within the body v1 and in communication with the passage Way 2 is a tubular shell valve 8, havfront end thereof. This valve 3 is held in an enlarged passageway l-in alinementwith the passage-Way 2 and against shoulders 5 by means of a sprino` l 6,' one end of which lpresses against a cap wremovably secured to the body by screwthreads, as shown to cover the chamber 8' 'formed to allow the said .spring enough space in which to operate.

the Water is allowed to flouy out through the hole and into the pipe l0 screwed toa neck l1 on the body 1.v By turning-the valve 3 in the opposite direction until the hole 1 is at the bottom thereof, the water is allow-ed.

to enter the faucet :nozzle 12. vWhen the valve .1s in such a position as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings orthe hole a is at the side thereof the `Water vsupply is entirely cut off by meansv of the valve fitting snugly within the valve seat with the hole tclosed by the peripheral wall defining the seat, thereby preventing the water from leaving the valve. When the valve is turned in such a position as'tocause the water to dow through 'the fountain pipe-10, and over the top' edge thereof,` it falls into the overflow cupv 13 having an outlet lll for permitting the water to pass into the nozzle 12. 'The fountain pipe and overflow cup are removably fastened to the body-by screw-threads as shown. As a means to prevent the .pressure of water {iowlng into the fountain pipe 10 from being too strong I provide a-set screwz15','adapted to be so adjusted as to cause the end thereof to come into engagement with a lug 16 on the valve 3. By setting the screw at any desired distance it will be seen that the valve may. a

be turned for using the fountain until the end of the screw comes Vin contact with the` which to drink to readily fill same by turning the handle in the other direction.

l desire it to be understood vthat I may make slight changes in the combination andl such arrangement of parts, provided changes fall Within the scope of the subjoined claim.

Having thus fully described my invention what f claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is fn acombined sanitary drinking fountain vand faucet, a body portion providedwith a .supply passage Way and an enlarged Apassage 'Way communicating and in ahnement therewith, a shell valve rotatably mounted with the faucet, a lug formed upon the ex -n sad'enlarged passage Way and open to tended portion of theshell, and-lug-engagsaid frstmentoned passage Way,.said valve ing means penetrating the body portion and extendingat'one end Without the said pas# adjustable from a pontlexteriorly ofsad 6 'sage Way',.n'1eans to yeldingly mantainsaid body to limit movement of thevalye, sub- 15 l y valve yin engagement with an annularI shoulstantially as described.
